. .V K I r ,s-an.-, -I. C. PROBY E. O. BACHER J. ED CARTER Secretary President VicefPresident Class of January '3LL LL too soon will come the day when we shall depart from the halls of K. C. C. S. forever as students. Perhaps we may return as sucf cessful field men and tell the classes yet to come about just how we made our success. Cnly one more short semester is left to worry about the eight o'clock class and if the judge is going to give an exam. Our class has become somewhat scattered in the course of the voyf age through school. Summer school during the past two years has taken its toll. A few have dropped out, to enter again in some lower class or to take up life again in the various places from which they came. No other class in the school can name as many different places as the homes of its members as can ours. We come from all parts of the country, from Maine to California and from Michigan to the Gulf. Foreign countries are also well represented, with three Englishmen and a pair of twins from Canada. Let graduation come, we will be ready, for our faith is great and our hearts are strong and we know darn well we will get along. HB3 ll33ll

A JOSEPH THOMAS AL.FRED REOER HAROLD SHADE Secretary President VicefPresident Class of June '33 S we approach that day when we shall change from student life to professional life, we are possessed of mingled emotions. When we think ofthe friendships. acquaintances, and associations with fellow students. faculty, and local people, we are indeed disturbed about leaving. Most of them we will possibly never see again. It is a sad thought. But as thoughts wander on we realize that graduatQon is the goal we have been working toward for four years. The realization of that goal means a great deal to us. lt means a chance to go out in the world and not only make our own way but to uphold an ideal-an ideal which has been set before us and with which we have become imbued through the earnest and sincere efforts of our instructors. We are anxious to be able to uphold it in the field, to become full fledged members of the profession whose ranks are doing so much to combat disease and protect the health of Humanity. This year has been both pleasant and successful for the class. Mucli credit is due the officers and members of the Graduation Committee for their untiring efforts in making our last year and graduation a series of events on which we can look with pride in future years. Though we leave the college, we will take with us many pleasant memories of hours in Kirksville. Who knows but what some day we might return to renew those memories? u'Ql5s------- ll32ll

' g RAY OTEY KENNETH CULL FRED TAYLOR VicefPresident President Treasurer Class of June '3LL N a cold rainy night in September of 193O4most of the members of our class arrived in the fair city of Kirksville. What a sight met our eyes. Surrounded by eager fraternity men, who seemed determined to take our bags away from us, was the little funny looking station with the brick platform. Rain was also doing its best to make the scene in general look as dreary as possible. So it is easy to unf derstand that we set out upon our careers with more or less heavy hearts. However days passed, as days have a way of doing, and we began to realize that life and Kirksville were not so bad after all. We managed to pass the lirst year without any definite symptoms arising and that was decidedly encouraging. Our return for sophomore year was marked by clear weather so the general spirits of the class were much better than in the fall a year before. The year ran quietly enough with the exception of some Resolutions which were, to use a lay expression, nipped in the bud. During this year symptoms have begun to develop in almost every member of the class. White treating coats and instrument bags have begun to appear. Of course there were some that developed these symptoms during the sophomore year but they were only sporatic cases. It is with no little excitement that we look forward to next year. Final state boards, graduation, and then the field. That is the goal that we have been seeking for three years already. May the time pass quickly. k- 21 --1-1,-iilR17:.-,., ll34ll
